22:50 I actually did this exact process not long ago for a Windows 10 VM. For some reason Windows 10 decided it needed to place the recovery partition directly to the right of the C partition when it was installed, so even if you expand the hard drive Windows 10's built in partition manager could not actually expand the C partition. Now, once I actually fixed and expanded the partitions with GParted Windows 10 decided that the hard drive was corrupted and that it really wanted to do a disk check every time I started the VM, but if I ever forgot to interrupt that and make it just boot up then the disk checker would completely brick my VM (luckily I had made a backup before making this discovery). I never was able to find a fix for that either, so thanks Microsoft! I just love that you took care to include tools in Windows that will automatically brick my PC!

Great trip down memory lane.

Fun times. Thank you very much, Muta. I have to bitch about few things though: 5:00 This low? Those specs are pretty damn high. 2GB max partition size is some serious 80's futureproofing. Consumer level hardware from the late 80's would've been a 5-20MB HDD, 1-4MB RAM, a 10-30Mhz CPU and a sound card if you could afford one. 27:00 I get the point and I remember there being a lot of drama when the first dual core CPU's got introduced, but cores and threads aren't the same thing. Single cores ran multiple threads (Intel called it Hyperthreading I believe).

Windows Vista was my childhood OS up until 2015, when it crashed permanently with literal matrix letters frozen on the screen.

[@LamentButterfly]

This was really fun to watch - a great trip down memory lane! My life with my own PCs went from Win3.11 all the way through Win10 (although I started with an Apple IIc, and I got to use a Win2.0 machine at my neighbour’s house), and honestly Win98, 2000, and XP still are my favourites. 98 is the most stable OS I’ve experienced in my life, and it had amazing functionality for the era. I miss DOS, now. A lot. Back then, I actually knew how to *use* my computer and play with the bios/drivers, some simple programming, and having fun with my charming 14.4 dial up modem, as opposed to my being almost completely lost when it comes to my current PC laptop. I had a ME machine my sophomore year of college, and it had some cool features, but it wasn’t ... stable ... in my experience with it, and I actually upgraded it to 2000 by the end of the school year. Windows NT was badass, though. I got to use it for work back then, and I started doing all my school stuff at work until I got 2000 because ME was gawdawful garbage. Vista wasn’t TERRIBLE, but I did revert to XP after a few months of Vista, even though I had it on a pretty damn overpowered, high end PC with a NVIDIA graphics card. I just didn’t like the UI, honestly. It ran well and was stable, unlike ME. I’m actually still running XP on my desktop - the same one that was made to be a Vista machine - and it’s been a LOT of work to keep such an old machine running and compatible with necessary peripherals, but it’s worth it. I don’t care that it’s not supported. It still does what I need it to do. Obviously, I didn’t really care for 7, 8, or 10. It feels odd for someone who started learning simple programming on an Apple IIc in kindergarten in 1986-1987 and who even built both her own 3.11 and Win95 machines in middle and high school, to be turning into a Luddite. And I have kept up with the new OSes as they’ve come out, but I just don’t like any OS after XP, although my complaints are mostly UI issues, as opposed to functionality or stability issues. Regardless, this video was really well done and well researched since you’re too young to remember the pre Win98 era very well! Thanks for the journey back into my childhood!

Beautifully spoken

[@vilcsith]

"Yeah that was perfect for the people who were on the Surface Tablet" As an owner of a Surface Tablet, no, it was dreadful. You were better off installing Windows 7 on the damn tablet, it was much more stable, much better supported by touchscreen and digitiser drivers, and if you wanted to hook the tablet up to a second screen and pretend it's a desktop PC, like many of us did when not on the road, you NEEDED windows 7 because you lost the ability to use the touchscreen the second you plugged in that HDMI cable. Windows 10's optional "tablet mode" is the only reason Surface Tablets still live on to this day.

Muta's story about always going back to Windows 7 whenever he upgraded his computer is also my experience. The fact some people thought the market for desktop computers was going to disappear blows my mind.

People hate on Vista, but Windows 8 was the real fuck up. Edit: Man I remember those Mojave ads. Jesus that was forever ago. 35:19, I want that tangent as a sound bite. I'm right with you. I purposely skipped over all of Windows 8. XP was meh for me cause I had shitty hardware, Vista was ok except of course hardware, 7 was great. Didn't bother with 8. Now I'm happy with 10.

you could for example download a episode of the adventures of sonic the hedgehog and use Windows Movie Maker to cut out the "snoo" and "usual i see" out of the line "snooping as usual I see" which is a line said by robotnik in one episode and what remains would be something very funny

[@jonnyOysters]

No one mentions the best free video editor? VSDC the standard free editor is great the only real limitation on it is it's software rendering only. But if you need to do hardware rendering them you may as well pay for video editing anyway. And can do way more than movie maker could ever do.

[@frugaltechtips5069]

I did something similar. I used my old IBM Aptiva 2168-62P Recovery CD to install PC-DOS 6.0 with Win 3.1. I upgraded the DOS to PC-DOS 7 and WFW 3.11. Installed WinG, Comet Busters, All of the Windows Entertainment and 16-bit arcade packs. Then, I upgraded this to Win 95 OSR2.1. Installed the 32-bit arcade packs. Used Norton Ghost to convert the FAT16 drive to FAT32 and then imaged it to a larger drive. I installed Rudolph Loews Big Disk and Large Memory Patches. Installed the I.E. 4.01 with Active Desktop Update. Installed Plus 95. Then I upgraded 95 to 98 and then 98 to 98SE. Installed Plus 98. I installed the K6-2 patch to allow multi GHz CPUs. Upgraded to Win ME (there was no ME Plus pack). Finally upgraded to Windows XP and installed XP Plus. All of this was done on a Gigabyte Pentium 3 Mobo with a 1GHz P3. It was a MESS! But I enjoyed every minute of it (this was in 2010). I have since lost my Aptiva Recovery CD and I would gladly purchase a replacement for that CD if I could find it. That setup allowed my XP to have all previous plus pack enhancements in addition to XP Plus but it was "naughty"

[@jabatheshort660]

Would love to see this done with the Mac OS versions. Maybe even Linux also!

[@jabatheshort660]

Would probably just recommend something like Ubuntu for people who aren’t as educated on it. Mostly just to see the UI changes

[@xman40100]

Would be cool to showcase the desktop environments, not necessarily distros because they mostly boggle down to just different package managers and certain configurations. :p

After witnessing the Dev Build of Windows 11 video, I suggest they wait and work on its appearance as it looks exactly like Windows 10. Windows 10 looks almost exactly like Windows 8. Seeing as how Windows 8 released in 2012, and we may expect Windows 11 in 2022, this would be the longest UI appearance streak in Windows history. I would also love to see some options in Windows 11 to effectively change the appearance of your OS to any of the previous versions of Windows. I think I would constantly run it in the appearance of XP, Vista, or 7.
